The UEGDFU of the TIDRC-CReMIT, notably addresses topics relating to neglected tropical diseases (especially dengue and other arboviruses) and common infectious diseases (such as malaria) using a transdisciplinary perspective. Despite the multiple efforts made by international organizations and national programs, tropical infectious diseases continue to be a heavy burden for vulnerable groups and constitute a significant financial burden on endemic populations.
An insectarium rearing three species of malaria vectors of different strains (laboratory) and from different locations in West Africa.
